Can I plant small musa basjoo's in the ground? I bought them in 4" pot and have grown a little in last couple weeks.

Mine still need a lot of watering to stay healthy(2 or 3 times a week & they are 3 months old), so if your sprinklers outside are running I would say yes. Depending on where you live, I would wait until spring when the snow is gone. I contacted the sellers about shipping in the winter time and they answered my question within days....so try contacting them...they would have the best answer. Hardy Basjoo Banana Plant - Musa basjoo. Amazing "hardy tropical" banana for the north or south, though native to the Ryukyu Archipelago which lies between Japan and Taiwan, Musa basjoo is also very common in parts of China. This specimen will survive temperatures as low as -20 if mulched. Full sun with lots of water & fertilizer to achieve the amazing growth rate, but it will do fine in light shade as well. Beautiful deep green clump can grow up to 18' tall or more, and really gives a tropical warm sunny feeling. Great for any place in the garden, especially great around pools or patios, courtyards and wonderful in a border with other colorful perennials & grasses.

I planted two in the ground rabbits ate one and the other took off nicely I live in wisconsin so I mulched it heavy for the winter and hope when i uncover I still have a plant. My mom placed one in a pot inside and its growing slowly but sure she wants to see if it will mature enough to plant this year if I have no luck with mine I used a manure soil mixed with potting soil that feeds like mircle grow. GOOD LUCK!

Just like if you were planting in the ground plant pieces approximately 8 inches from top of soil once they start sprouting you can mound if u want to. All I did was putting potting soil in then plant 10 potato pieces in each bag and then covered with 8 inches more of soil .

Go for it, I am sure the season will be long enough. Besides, what will not planting them yield? :)

Yes you can!! They grow very nicely but you may need to cage them sideways instead of a standing cage which would be too high.

I am in zone 11. My plant is almost 5 feet tall now. You do plant it in a pot at first as it comes as a few sprigs with a few leaves on it. You can question any nursery in your area regarding your question. Hope it works out for you.

I have planted them, about 7-8 weeks ago. And disappointedly to this day only 9 have grown!!!! I love those plants, when I lived in Md., I had a huge pot of them, but since my mother passed away, my brothers have thrown everything we owned away, cause my father could not afford house in Md anymore! If you want I will send you a picture of what grew. My mother loved these, thatswhy I ordered them, there is not one nursery in Myrtle Beach, SC that sell them!

You can give them a try. These plants like warm weather. I grow mine in big pots with a tomato cage in the center. They grow very nice in the pots and vine up the cage w/assistance and direction. If you have the room and can bring them inside as the temperature gets cooler in the fall you will get a longer life from them. If you do not have the ability to do this then you will not get too many flowers or beans from the plant.

I did not use for tomatoes but I have no reason to believe you would plant any different from ground plant. I read on www to plant on side covering roots and fuzzy texture up to the first leaves covering with 2-3 inches soil and I did this in ground and was amazed leaves were directed back toward the sky almost overnight. Not sure if this would work in pots due to space but again I would plant as normal depth in ground.

You can grow in any pot that I bought it from dollar store. As long as the pot has a hole at the bottom, you will be fine//:)

Plant them and find out. I would think they would do fine unless you had a lot of moisture in the bag in the refrigerator. Check them for any mold before planting.

I planted the two ordered on 7/20/14 and they grew from 8" to 36"and26"respectively. I read that next season may see some sm. fruits, and some suggest culling them to allow more root development. 'so. . not enough data.

I don't see why not, but I didn't have much success with mine trying to grow in the ground. Good luck.

I just planted some in my garden only a few days ago. so far nothing.. I did plant some in the house in those little green house plastic containers that come with the little dirt pods. they are already growing. took less than a week and they are already an inch tall.. the seeds I planted outside I water twice a day because it gets hot and dry quickly. I mixed garden soil and compost and steer manure into the garden. each seed is different as far as sun. So far I am happy with them.

I just planted in starter pots, seeds that are now two years old. I haven't had them any longer than that. They are 2 to 3 inches tall after a month of growth. My personal response would 2 years. Hope it helped you.

Just plant then about 1 1/2 inches beneath the soil, vertically, water and your good to go. Mine are all up and flowering. I've found that vertical placement lets Mother Nature the pattern for growth.

I planted them in a planter and they never grew. I may have gotten a bad batch of seeds but they didn't work by planting them in a planter.

I still have not repotted my sharry baby. I have placed it in a larger pot more for decoration. Orchids like their bottoms in tight places.
